A thorough dental assessment is the foundation of effective oral care. At Dentistes Fabreville, we take the time to evaluate your overall dental health, identify any existing or potential issues, and create a care plan tailored to your needs.
Whether you’re a new patient, returning for a routine checkup, or seeking a second opinion, a dental assessment is your starting point to achieving and maintaining a healthy, confident smile.
A dental assessment is a comprehensive oral exam that allows our team to check the health of your teeth, gums, jaw, and soft tissues. It gives us a complete picture of your oral condition and helps us detect problems early—often before they cause pain or become more complicated to treat.
-
Teeth: We look for signs of decay, wear, cracks, or damage.
-
Gums: We assess gum health and check for signs of inflammation or periodontal disease.
-
Bite & Jaw: We evaluate how your teeth come together and screen for issues like grinding or jaw misalignment.
-
Soft Tissues: We examine your cheeks, tongue, and other soft tissues for abnormalities or lesions.
-
Previous Restorations: We check the condition of existing fillings, crowns, bridges, and implants.
-
Digital X-Rays (if needed): To see what’s not visible to the eye — including between teeth, below the gums, or within bone structures.
